I saw this over at BoomerCharged.net and thought it deserved a cross-post:

Ok, I’ve just found the perfect scenario for a Left 4 Dead campaign:

Zombies? Check! Nazis? Check! WWII era weaponry? Check! Of course, this scenario would require a huge effort on the part of the developers: New player models (with winter coats, boots etc), new zombie models (Nazi uniforms) and new weapon models (I figure the survivors would use WWII era German weaponry that they find. Bit of a stretch to expect it to be in good working order but hey, there are zombie Nazis stumbling around! Anything is possible!). Plus all the level work needed. But I bet the result would be well worth it!

A short while ago I introduced my 2 favourite upcoming 3rd-party campaigns: Dead Before Dawn and Final Flight. I haven’t heard anything new about the latter, but today I came across a new video showcasing some of the other locations to be featured in the Dead Before Dawn campaign.

There certainly seem to be a large number of different locations, all of which are very impressive. However, I really hope that the layout will be different in the final product. It seems from the video that all the locations are laid out around a central park area. At one point it is mentioned that the map was originally just one large area, but that it has been split into 4 separate maps. From the amount of content shown here, I certainly hope so! This campaign continues to look promising, but I still have my reservations. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Metal has uploaded part 3 of his hunter pounce compilation video. I can only hope that I get that good someday

Came across this yesterday, but forgot to write about it. Apparently someone’s 9-year-old cousin has written a review of L4D. Here’s the reviewer’s impression of the logo:

I suspect foul play here. I mean, that 9-year-old has suspiciously under-developed MSPaint skills. Besides, L4D has already reached a much younger audience:

I think this clip is hilarious, but if you want to complain about bad/irresponsible parenting you can do so on the original blog post. It also features another video of the same litte boy (whose name is Aiden) playing Garry’s Mod.

Just came across this marvelous video which dispenses valuable advice about playing the Smoker in versus mode. Great advice, watch out for the brilliant elevator drag about 2:30 in.

Note: This video looks much better in HD

More youtube trawling lead me to the following two videos which I think deserve more attention.  They’re both by a player called ‘Metal’ and he has a particular talent for dropping onto survivors from a great height. If you can stand loud thrash metal music, these videos are well worth watching:

Personally, I’m looking forward to the days when most players are this good at Hunter-ing. Right now spawning as a hunter usually results in groans of ‘not again‘, as most of the time hunters are the first to die in an infected assault. Mastering jumps like this will definately add a little spice to gameplay. In fact, I’m off to practice right now!
